CAI installation question

[99gti]

Qsilverza - Are you coming on the Vic cruise this weekend? If so - I can show you how it's done on mine and then you'll probably laugh cause it's that simple to do. If not, PM me you number and we can arange a meet some time and I'll show you then if you like.

Oh - btw. I can't find my camera - sorry for no pics

Interesting... I wasn't aware of the need to move the battery.
The CDA itself is fairly big (200mm long, 150mm diameter) so I would think it would be hard to mount it further down then where the factory box currently sits?

I'm going to have a look on the weekend about making these mods to the factory box. I found some great 3" Silicone hose that's smooth inside so that should work quite well.

99GTi, would you mind giving some tips on the mod? As I understand it, you just remove the factory "funnel", shave some little bits of plastic out from the bottom of the box and run the silicone down near the front bar? There doesn't look like there's much room for the hose though??

I wish I could make it for the cruise on the weekend, but i have to work... and Bathurst is on too!

Sierra - whats your location? It'd be much easier just to show you? PM me if you like and I can show you. If you get the pipe I'm more than happy to give you hand to do it. If I could find my camera I'd post pics to show you.

Guys, check out this link. It fairly comprehensive and is very similar to the 1.8T motor in it's location.

I am currently running CDA CAI in my 1.6
Sounds great and looks great but dont expect a huge gain in power.Im sure will be different for each application in particular a GTi.
